I just ran into something curious with the 1.76.1 ns stylesheets (also using RenderX).
I'm trying to create an admonition style that has a shaded background with the text inside surrounded by 8pts of padding.
To do that, I did nothing to any of the xsl, I just set padding="8pts" and background-color="#E0E0E0" in the admonition.properties attribute set.
That works, but the outside bounds of the admonition now extend 8pts beyond the outside margin. If I set the padding to 0pts, the text stays the same, but the background shrinks to the size of the text.
I thought padding was defined as it is for table cells, that is the space between the boundary of the box and the contents. I would expect, of course, that this would potentially cause the box to expand vertically (at least in western text), but not horizontally, and not outside the text margin.
Am I misinterpreting the meaning of padding, or is there a potential bug here?
BTW, I "fixed" the problem by setting margin="0pts" but that seems to be somehow wrong:-).
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,
Dick Hamilton
